Upgrading Postgres vom 15.5 to 16.1 fails on arm64 about matrix-docker-ansible-deploy HOT 4 OPEN

Postgres changed container networks (matrix -> matrix-postgres) recently, so that may have something to do with your issue.

Make sure you've upgraded your setup (just setup-all) first, before trying to perform an upgrade (upgrade-postgres).

In any case, I believe the code should handle it fine anyway, so maybe the problem lies elsewhere.

thanks for the fast reply,
I already did upgrade and setup everthing and just did a docker inspect matrix-postgres which shows the container is already using matrix-postgres as network.

In that case, during the upgrade, the newly-created Postgres instance is probably too slow to start and at the time we try to import to it, it's not available yet.

You can add an extra variable to the upgrade procedure to add a larger delay. It's 15 seconds by default.

Try adding --extra-vars postgres_start_wait_time=30 at the end of your --tags=setup-postgres command.

It may be something else too, but.. that's my next guess as to what's wrong.

unfortunately it didn't work as well...
the problem seems, postgres isn't able to start at all before importing even if I do systemctl restart matrix-postgres manually. It's saying it can't start because the database-data was initialized by postgres 15 and so can't be used to start postgres 16.
I thought thats exactly why postgres-database is moved (to backup-location) before upgrading and then it should be imported back. Somehow there seems to be some data left over?!
